This weekend our club hosted a DOGSNZ scentwork trial, here is some of our local dogs and handlers who gave it a go and earnt qualifying certificates.

Well done to all competitors who came to support our show, hope you all went home with a great team mate and some prizes.

Thank you to everyone who pitched in and helped our small club in anyway possible,
Thank you to the judges who made some great search areas.
Thank you to Awapuni school and Double J Smallwoods for letting us use your grounds.
And thank you to Adele from petfood new Zealand for our wonderful prizes.

It was a great weekend to meet new people and have some of our new club members come along and help/watch and see what it's all about and be excited to get back into training as they now see the goal they are reaching for, great teamwork and trusting your dog most importantly 😆.

Would love to see other dogs certificates photos posted below guys.

Hi everyone

Our show is this weekend here is helpful tips navigating our show and grounds currently.

Please drive down the driveway and come through the gate, it is a open and close situation as that's the health and safety rules now.

Please don't run dogs round the oval or horse stables as there will be horses coming and going as there is a horse event in the arena.

Camping our showers atm are currently cold at the equestrian centre but you guys are more then welcome to walk or drive over and use the event centre camp grounds showers (the gas/plumbing guy is trying his best to sort it and get parts)

Thanks everyone for understanding these things
See you all tomorrow and good luck, we all know we need some 😉

Hi Basic Obedience Attendees

Please come down the driveway and park in the carpark tonight for classes,
Please remember for safety the middle gate needs to be shut after you 😊

The good dog basics class participated in their walk.

Twice a term, we facilitate group walks in open environments, where numerous dogs demonstrated significant improvement and handlers developed increased trust.

Focusing on real-world scenarios, this activity is beneficial for all teams, and you should feel proud.

Government proposes new rules to tackle prolonged tethering of dogs.

The change is a "hard-won victory", according to the SPCA, who was consulted in drafting the new regulations.

Training will still be on tonight.
We have been lucky enough to be able to hire the riding for disabled arena for tonight's classes. Parking will be around the arena. The gate on the driveway will need to be kept closed so people will need to open and close as required.

Big congratulations to Evelyn and Haze on the weekend.
Haze found all eight buried hides and took two judges awards. He was the only intermediate dog to get 100%.
